Reply #53: My cell reception sucks [View All]

and I spend most of my time calling people who don't speak English very well so it's easier for them to read the message than try to understand what I'm saying through all the static.

:shrug:

Plus, I always forget to turn my phone back on after class and I keep it turned off at night so it's easier for me know how urgent it is to reply if someone sends me a text than if they call and can't get through. And if someone doesn't recognize my phone number they might try to screen me if I call them directly so I always text first so they know it's me and can add my number into their caller ID.

Also, if you're texting people can't hear your conversation unlike the braying idiots shouting into their cellphones. I text on the subway to avoid bothering other people.
